There exists a family B=(Br)r∈{0,1,2}B=(B_r)_{r\in\{0,1,2\}}B=(Br​)r∈{0,1,2}​ of three 6×66\times66×6 complex matrices, with every row and column indexed by {0,1,2,3,4,5}\{0,1,2,3,4,5\}{0,1,2,3,4,5}, such that the following two conditions hold. First, for every r∈{0,1,2}r\in\{0,1,2\}r∈{0,1,2}, (Br)†Br=I6(B_r)^\dagger B_r=I_6(Br​)†Br​=I6​, where (Br)†(B_r)^\dagger(Br​)† is the conjugate transpose and I6I_6I6​ is the 6×66\times66×6 identity matrix; equivalently, for every pair of column indices i,j∈{0,…,5}i,j\in\{0,\ldots,5\}i,j∈{0,…,5}, ∑k=05(Br)ki‾(Br)kj\sum_{k=0}^{5}\overline{(B_r)_{ki}}(B_r)_{kj}∑k=05​(Br​)ki​​(Br​)kj​ equals 111 when i=ji=ji=j and 000 when i≠ji\ne ji=j. This equation is exactly the formal orthonormal-basis condition used here. Second, for every ordered pair r,s∈{0,1,2}r,s\in\{0,1,2\}r,s∈{0,1,2} with r≠sr\ne sr=s, and for every i,j∈{0,…,5}i,j\in\{0,\ldots,5\}i,j∈{0,…,5}, the complex number ((Br)†Bs)ij=∑k=05(Br)ki‾(Bs)kj((B_r)^\dagger B_s)_{ij}=\sum_{k=0}^{5}\overline{(B_r)_{ki}}(B_s)_{kj}((Br​)†Bs​)ij​=∑k=05​(Br​)ki​​(Bs​)kj​ has squared modulus exactly 1/61/61/6; explicitly, its real part squared plus its imaginary part squared is the real number 1/61/61/6. The second condition therefore covers all six ordered pairs of distinct labels, including both orders of each unordered pair, and all 363636 transition entries for each such pair; it imposes no transition-amplitude condition when r=sr=sr=s, although the first condition still applies to every BrB_rBr​. The assertion has no additional parameters, hypotheses, typeclass assumptions, or uniqueness requirement. Its index sets have fixed positive sizes three and six, so no empty-family, zero-dimensional, or division-by-zero case is included; the implication guarded by r≠sr\ne sr=s is vacuous only on the diagonal pairs r=sr=sr=s.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions.
